Multiple? A Main Battle Tank such as the German Leopard 2 weighs 62,300 kg (137, 347 lb). Even a puny WW2 Sherman medium tank weighed in the neighborhood of 70,000 lb.

XNU is a hybrid kernel incorporating large elements of Mach (microkernel) as well as BSD (monolithic kernel).

Does it have an HDMI connector? The description is extremely poor.

Physical? You could jam a lot more storage in a 3.5" drive than you're ever going to see, but it would not be economically practical, and the MTBF and reliability would be very poo…

You completely missed the drawn of HDDs with the ST506 5MB, and the big breakthrough when the much faster 10MB ST512 replaced it? Those were the exciting days.

What other possible way is there to pronounce it?

"Gaz" for gas/gasoline.

Reminds me of the ludicrous idea of medical savings accounts. Hardly anyone below the top 0.1% could ever hope to "save" enough money and put it away to cover a medical or legal di…

Honest question: If you aren't going to share data between/among threads, why use threads at all? Why not just fork-abd-exec?

It's not even fully C++11. Massive fail.

I would say perl6 was stable as of the Christmas 2015 release of rakudo.

I found this a nifty intro to perl6. I am a 70 year old retiree and have 37 years of C programming and some C++, perl5, and other languages. This is the first time I've been able t…

Didn't you bother to run SMART and see what the power-on time was? Just for curiosity if nothing else.

That's odd. I certainly wouldn't [feel bad, that is].

I don't see any control keys at all in that picture! This has to be a joke.

- over 40% thermal efficiency - significant reduction in CO2 CO2 production is directly inverse-linearly related to thermal eficiency. It is silly to list both.

An electric power transmission is hardly hybrid. You just have two extra conversions in your transmission, mechanical to electric and electric back to mechanical.

> a Tesla uses about 300 Watts a mile @ 55 Mph This is nonsense. The dimensions are wrong. Watts are instantaneous power. To be meaningful, you would have to give either kWh/h or k…

They can't legally use anything except CDDL. If anyone could just pick and choose to alter the licensing, there wouldn't be any point in having licences.
